When Lin Fengting walked out of Huating International Airport in a dusty manner, the rain over Huating had stopped and the dark clouds had dispersed.
The setting sun is burning with its last rays of light, illuminating the horizon fiery red and gorgeous.
Lin Youxian followed his father's slightly hurried footsteps out of the airport and subconsciously said, "Dad, do you want to eat something first?"
"No need."
Lin Fengting shook his head.
Maybe it was because he came to Huating that he relaxed a little, and there was a smile on his face: "Let's go directly to Lin'an. Then let your Grandpa Li make some delicious food for you. His craftsmanship is very good, little one." When I was young, my favorite thing to eat was the side dishes he cooked.”
"When I was young... "
Lin Youxian muttered and repeated.
Lin Fengting's expression was a little complicated, and he said softly: "When I was young, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Lin family in Beihai had a very good relationship and had frequent interactions with each other. I was about sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, and I, Tianzong , Kuangzu, the four of us have learned swordsmanship from Mr. Li for two years. Earlier, it was Mr. Wang from the Wang family in Beihai who built the foundation for the four of us. Later, the four of us were in Switzerland, and we were beaten by you. Grandpa took me with him and taught him for several years. There are differences in the martial arts between the Beihai Wang family and the Lin family. Even the Li family’s twenty-four swords are different from those of the Lin family. What the three old people did at that time, in addition to strengthening our younger generation In addition to the relationship, it is to cultivate the strongest martial arts master..."
His eyes were a little wandering, as if he was thinking of something happy, and he smiled and said, "Those years were the most relaxing days for me."
"Four people?"
Lin Youxian asked.
He only heard his father mention three people.
Lin Fengting's smile stiffened a little, and his face became a little ugly, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just said slowly: "Let's go, let's go to Lin'an."
Huating is not far from Lin'an, only two hundred kilometers away.
The father and son got into a taxi and gave their address. After the taxi got on the airport expressway, they went straight to Lin'an.
Lin Fengting looked out the window.
The scenery outside the window recedes rapidly.
The gorgeous sunset has become dim.
The night came and seemed to cover everything.
The roadside lights were on.
The light shone on the car window, and Lin Fengting saw his face.
It was a calm, almost indifferent face.
Lin Fengting suddenly felt that this face was a little strange.
He himself was surprised at his calmness.
He thought of the Li family again and the Wang family of Beihai.
I remember it with a calm state of mind that I have never experienced before.
Recalling Wang Tianzong's helplessness, recalling Wang Tianzong's clear conscience, recalling the vigorous collapse of the Li family, and recalling the silence and stand-by of the Beihai Wang family.
Before, Lin Fengting never understood why Wang Tianzong would abandon the friendship between the Li family and the Beihai Wang family so naturally, nor could he understand why the Beihai Wang family and the Li family, who supported each other, parted ways overnight.
Therefore, for many years, he has always had a deep prejudice against Wang Tianzong's actions, and was even a little wary.
He abandoned his friendship with the Li family, so he could naturally abandon his friendship with the Lin family as well.
The Lin clan is outside the world.
Therefore, it has always been difficult for Lin Fengting to imagine how cold and cruel Wang Tianzong was when he made those series of decisions.
However, it was not until this moment, when Lin Fengting looked at his unfamiliar face printed on the car window, that he truly understood that the original Wang Tianzong was not indifferent or cruel in his heart.
The setting sun has completely disappeared.
Night covers the sky and the earth.
Lin Fengting looked at his face in the car window.
The face became brighter and darker as the scenery outside the window receded, some gloomy, some brilliant.
Only calm remains unchanged, as always.
Lin Fengting thought he saw Wang Tianzong.
Many years ago, when he decided to stand by and watch everything about Li's family, his expression should have been so calm.
There is only peace.
Those feelings are still there.
Those times are still warm.
Mr. Li has never done anything wrong.
Wang didn’t miss it either.
The Lin clan has no reason to condemn anything.
When the friendship they cultivated by protecting their common interests was threatened by more important interests or even survival, betrayal, rebellion, and standing by, everything was so natural and calm.
Lin Fengting's surname is Lin, Li Kuangtu's surname is Li, and Wang Tianzong's surname is Wang.
Having different surnames is the biggest mistake.
"Have I changed?"
He looked at his son sitting next to him and suddenly asked seriously.
Lin Youxian was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Father has never changed."
Lin Fengting nodded and said with a sigh: "It hasn't changed. It turns out that I am the same as them."
He gradually lost his emotions and became completely calm.
At this moment he completely understood Wang Tianzong.
But that doesn't change his choice.
Just because he is the leader of the Lin clan.
Lin Youxian's cell phone rang with a text message.
He took out his cell phone and looked at it. His expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Dad, news just came from Switzerland. My uncle's legs are no longer working. I'm afraid he will have to rely on a wheelchair to live in the future."
Lin Fengting lightly clenched his fists and nodded imperceptibly.
Lin Xu was blind, and his hearing and speech abilities began to gradually decline. Now, under the attack of the machine, he lost his legs again.
Lin Xu's surname is Lin. For the Lin clan, he can have no regrets.
Just like Lin Fengting's own choice.
He told cause and effect.
Next, it depends on how Lin Fengting executes it.
Cause and effect are circles.
But the cause and effect in Lin Xu's mouth was a straight line. He said everything in the clearest and most direct manner, without any twists and turns.
That's why the backlash from heaven can be so violent and even tragic.
If the Lin clan wants to continue to prosper, they need to keep Qin Weibai alive.
The cause and effect between the Lin clan and Qin Weibai still originated from the Li family, or in other words, from Li Tianlan.
This is the most straightforward cause and effect.
And those twists and turns in the middle are the mysterious and mysterious destiny.
Lin Fengting had no choice.
His arrival in Middle-earth has already proven that he is determined.
There was no way he would give up the opportunity for the Lin clan to continue to prosper.
Therefore, he wanted to protect Qin Weibai from death, and at the same time, he also wanted to preserve the source of this thread of cause and effect.
That is Li Tianlan.
To protect Li Tianlan, we must protect Li Honghe.
This is cause and effect.
Lin Fengting knew what this meant.
This means that when protecting this cause and effect, no matter who he faces, even if he faces the Wang family of Beihai or Wang Tianzong, he must take action.
There is no righteousness.
Just for the Lin Clan.
Just like Wang Tianzong allowed the Li family to collapse for the sake of the Wang family.
When it concerns yourself and you have no choice, all your reluctance, unwillingness, unwillingness, and inability will disappear.
Because there is no choice, there is only peace.
He had to do it.
It doesn’t matter what other people think or their understanding, because I have no choice at all, so I have a clear conscience.
Wang Tianzong was like this back then.
Lin Fengting is the same today.
What's right or wrong
Lin Fengting suddenly patted the front driver's seat. All the sadness, helplessness and self-deprecation completely disappeared as his smile gradually spread, turning into the most basic lightness.
He took out a handful of bills and threw them to the driver, and said calmly: "Master, please drive faster, I'm in a hurry."
... ...
It's cold in Kunlun.
Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun were drinking.
The wine was poured into the crystal clear glass, glowing with a slight blue color.
Wang Tianzong took a sip from the wine glass in front of him and said softly: "It's too strong."
"It's just right to have a drink before killing someone."
Gu Xingyun smiled elegantly and mellowly.
In Kunlun City, where the howling wind and snow made it look extremely cold, the God of War in Central Continent was dressed in a blue gown, as elegant and unrestrained as a scholar who had no interest in worldly affairs.
"Right."
Wang Tianzong nodded and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Your Majesty has decided?"
Gu Xingyun poured Wang Tianzong another glass of wine and asked.
He called you Your Majesty.
And the tone is extremely natural.
Not to mention the absolute strength symbolized by the Beihai Wang family.
Just three words "Wang Tianzong" are enough to make all the invincible masters respect him.
"Nothing is undecided."
Wang Tianzong said calmly: "This is what must be done."
He pointed to the TV set on the wall nearby.
Kunlun City is surrounded by wind and snow all year round, but the internal settings are extremely modern. Gu Xingyun's residence is even more luxurious to the extreme, and every detail is extremely particular.
Pictures were playing on the huge TV that took up almost a third of the wall.
On the screen are Li Tianlan in different states, moving or still, as clear as if he is right before his eyes.
I don’t know how long the picture played.
The two of them had no intention of watching anymore.
"It's a threat."
Gu Xingyun glanced at the TV: "If he doesn't die, I will feel uneasy."
"Then let him die."
Wang Tianzong said calmly: "Let's go to Lin'an. I will kill people, and you will restrain me."
His tone was very calm, without any ripples.
Gu Xingyun paused.
He raised his head and looked into Wang Tianzong's eyes: "Are you going to kill him yourself?"
Wang Tianzong just drank in silence.
He made his attitude clear and didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
The slightly blue wine was extremely strong. When he poured it into his stomach, his whole body was filled with heat, and even his blood gradually began to boil.
There was a trace of murderous intent in Wang Tianzong's eyes. It was very faint, but it could erase everything.
"good."
Gu Xingyun laughed: "You kill Li Honghe, and I will kill Li Tianlan."
Wang Tianzong nodded indifferently.
Gu Xingyun simply placed the wine jar next to Wang Tianzong.
He thought for a while and then asked: "Are the three of us enough?"
three people.
Wang Tianzong.
Ancient sayings.
Ancient Qianchuan.
The worst one is also an ordinary invincible.
This kind of power, considering only the martial arts strength without considering anything else, is enough to wipe out any force in Central Continent, including the remaining Li family.
Gu Xingyun was asking whether the three of them were strong enough.
"what are you worried about?"
Wang Tianzong asked.
"in case."
Gu Xingyun shook his head: "I don't want any accidents to happen."
Wang Tianzong stretched out his hand and gently tapped the Beihai Wang Family's famous sword Tinghai beside him: "There won't be any accidents."
Under the Tinghai Sword of the Zhongzhou Sword Emperor, any accident can be controlled.
Gu Xingyun looked at the ancient sword under Wang Tianzong's hand. He was silent for a long time and then suddenly said: "Isn't there a fourth person?"
A flash of cold electricity suddenly flashed across Wang Tianzong's eyes. He looked at Gu Xingyun without saying a word.
"Is this why you hate Li Honghe?"
Gu Xingyun laughed.
As we all know, there is very little contact between the Sword Emperor of Central Continent and the War God of Central Continent. After Kunlun City replaced the Li family, they basically had an attitude of not having any contact with the Wang family of Beihai. Even if there were conflicts on weekdays, the two parties involved would not have any contact with each other. He has never expressed his attitude publicly.
To put it simply, the two of them should not be familiar with each other.
But obviously, the actual relationship between the two is not like that.
"Do you hate Mrs. Li?"
Gu Xingyun said: "I think it should be hatred, otherwise you would probably not choose to take action personally just because of Li Tianlan's words... So, in that battle, that person's injury has not healed yet? Is this you? The reason for hating the Li family is why you want to kill Li Honghe with your own hands..."
"After Li's incident, a master from the Jiang family who had just broken through the invincible realm entered the Imperial Army Mountain at night. Does this matter have something to do with Kunlun City? If the word hate is used in everything, I also have reason to hate Kunlun City. .”
Wang Tianzong's tone was gloomy and cold.
Gu Xingyun's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "We are not friends, never have been."
His words were simple.
Kunlun City and the Beihai Wang family are not friends.
But at least back then, Beihai Wang and Li were friends.
Wang Tianzong and Li Kuangtu are even more friends.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Wang Tianzong said calmly: "Gu Qianchuan is moving too slowly, it's time for us to set off."
"Soon."
Gu Xingyun looked at his watch and suddenly said: "What will happen after the Li family is completely destroyed?"
"Destroy the Palace of Reincarnation."
Wang Tianzong said without hesitation.
The Palace of Reincarnation is now very close to Tiandu Purgatory, and destroying the Palace of Reincarnation also requires the cooperation of both of them.
And on the point of destroying the Palace of Reincarnation, their positions are still the same.
Gu Xingyun nodded and said again: "What about Sighing City?"
Wang Tianzong paused while drinking.
He was silent for a while, then glanced at Gu Xingyun and said, "Let's look again."
Gu Xingyun looked at Wang Tianzong.
His eyes were slightly cold: "That's fine."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet and depressing.
The wine in the pot was poured into the cup and poured into the stomach.
The aroma of wine overflows.
"Did I do anything wrong back then?"
Wang Tianzong drank wine and asked without warning.
then.
There were many moments in his and Gu Xingyun's lives.
But Gu Xingyun knew which one he was asking about.
This question requires no answer.
In other words, no matter who is asked to answer, there will only be one answer.
Gu Xingyun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Did you have a choice back then?"
Wang Tianzong laughed at himself: "No."
Only when he has no choice will he cooperate with someone who is not his friend.
For example, the ancient cloud in front of you.
When he made that decision, he was really calm, so calm that there was no room for regret.
Today and tonight.
Go to Lin'an.
This is the second cooperation between Beihai Wang Family and Kunlun City.
Shortly after the first cooperation between the two parties.
There was the collapse of the Li family and the treason case of Kuangzu Li.
Then came the Beihai Wang family's silence and stand-by that embarrassed countless people in the Southeast Group, and they still can't let it go.
At that time, there was no Kunlun City in Central Continent.
But the first time Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun joined forces was also in the wind and snow.
The wind and snow outside the window are howling, as if they have passed through many quiet years, with a biting chill that seems familiar.
The beautifully decorated door was pushed open from the outside.
Gu Qianchuan, the great elder of Kunlun City, appeared at the door.
He looked at Wang Tianzong, then at Gu Xingyun, and said grimly: "The helicopter is ready and can leave for Lin'an at any time."
Wang Tianzong hummed, picked up the wine glass, looked at the elegant and gentle Gu Xingyun in front of him, and said the same words as he did more than twenty years ago.
"cheers."
His tone was flat: "I respect the country without Li."
